Get your ticket, merch, and concessions, because we'll be heading to the theater! This semester, we're going to experience family drama--well, read dramas that explore the various relationships inside and between families. We'll travel across the ocean (figuratively) to watch Shakespeare's Globe perform AS YOU LIKE IT. We will explore a classic play, Ibsen'sA DOLL'S HOUSE, rewritten by two modern authors, Lucas Hnath (A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2) and Heather Raffo (NOURA); the latter two plays have been performed recently at the Jungle and Guthrie Theater, so we will watch the scenes available from these local performances. Greek tragedy also obtains a modern rewrite in Sarah Ruhl's EURYDICE and August Wilson's FENCES. In our final play, Dominique Morisseau's PIPELINE, the threat of black juvenile incarceration meets the determination of a loving mother; Penumbra Theatre offered a stellar performance of this work. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integration in the Humanities requirement. Please note that ENGL 201 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 202, 203, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.
